I wanted to jump in this thread, saying that OPT(<n>) is only for DUMP (as per documentation for z/OS v1.12), but I intentionaly waited to see what others said. Ron, how did you see OPT(3) is used instead of OPT(4) as given as parm? Could it be that OPT is a 'phantom' keyword to be ignored instead of rejected as a syntax error? Or in other words - is ONE syntax checker is used for all the DFDSS commands and just ignore(s) 'undefined'/'undocumented' keywords? Mind you, there are some threads about syntax of DFDSS input in IBM-MAIN this last 12 or so months.
